The fall of commercial Babylon – part one
After the midnight cry 29
Meditate about these things.
Babylon scripturally is identified, all through history, to have a religious and a commercial dimension. The religious dimension that includes spiritual fornication, idolatry and deception of all types. Whereas the commercial dimension deals with wealth, investments (including the souls of men and women), hospitality business, gold accumulation and transactions. Babylon is world wide but has key centers and cities. Many of such cities are in the middle east, but exist in the commercial centers of the world, in banking and stock market hobs. But the filth of the whore (a system), the antichrist and the false prophet under the total power of satan, have control of the world. This gets worse after the translation of the faithful and true believers in Jesus Christ. Religious Babylon, the seat of the whore is already burnt with fire and destroyed. But the commercial dimension is still booming with the planes and merchants of the seas; moving men and resources worldwide. There is no religious face to the madness in Babylon at this time. The antichrist had been incarnated by satan for the push of death and judgment from God. Repentance and grace are nowhere to be found. Today is the day of salvation (Remember 2nd Corinthians 6:2). The whore had been judged and her system destroyed, and the antichrist relocated to around Jerusalem from Rome and its environment of nations.
God by the prophets, announced about judgment day coming, at the end of time. God did not hide it. He made it plain. Look at Isaiah 2:7-22 and you will agree that God sent the warning of judgment at the end of time, “Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end to their treasures. Their land is full of horses, neither is there any end to their chariots (transport systems, vehicles bumper to bumper; remember Nahum 2:4 – The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broadways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightning). Their land is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made (including all computer technology, – what is the idol in your life?).The mean man boweth , and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. (Forgiveness at this time is no more available).” Verse 10-12 reads, “Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon everyone that is lifted up: and he shall be brought low.” Verses 18-21, “And the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth for fear of the Lord and the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake the earth terribly. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they each made for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats. To go into the clefts of the rocks and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake the earth terribly. Part two to follow.
